FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong>\u00a0What does it mean to be answering as a CHRISTIAN?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acts 11<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answering to be a CHRISTIAN is not by attending a gathering in the name of a church or quoting the word of God.
Answering to be a CHRISTIAN is not by the word of God but living by the word of God.
Answering to be a Christian is not by engaging in an assignment in the church.
Answering to be a CHRISTIAN is not by having a title.
Many are with the title but lack a task.
Are you a CHRISTIAN searching for self to gain the understanding to know God or not knowing about God?
So many answers as a Christian, not live life because of no understanding with LACK KNOWLEDGE as a Christian!
Are you answering as CHRISTIAN?
Do you have an understanding of what it means to be a CHRISTIAN?
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A CHRISTIAN (CHRIST-LIKE)?
With the persecution, the followers of Jesus Christ scattered\u00a0<\/strong>as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the Lord Jesus.\u00a0
At Antioch, the title Christians started, meaning Christ-like.\u00a0\u00a0
Acts 11:26 documents,<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u201c\u2026And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
The ways of the disciples of Jesus identify believers as CHRISTIANS (Christ-like)\u00a0
Today, many are answering as Christians, while the majority do not live life as Christians like the disciples of Jesus, living life by the word of God.
A Christian should live by searching self, to seek God to follow the word of God as His disciple.\u00a0
Do you search yourself as David testifies in\u00a0Psalm 139:23, \u201cSearch me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
SEARCH YOUR SELF constantly, and seek GOD diligently as a Christian.
Searching yourself in the word of God is like looking into a mirror, addressing yourself, and living life as Christ-like.
Among the reasons to SEARCH SELF constantly is seeking God diligently.
Diligently, seek God with understanding and know God not to live a life of waste.
Ecclesiastes 9:12<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>warns all,\u00a0\u201cFor man also does not know his time: Like fish taken in a cruel net, like birds caught in a snare, So the sons of men are snared in an evil time when it falls suddenly upon them.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
A failure to SEARCH (SEEK) to gain UNDERSTAND or know about will not have a place for deliverance but to become snared by evil agenda.
The word of God said,\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cMy people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…\u201d (Hosea 4:6)<\/strong><\/em>
Do you search to know why you are not with KNOWLEDGE?
Lack of knowledge is evidence of no understanding.
Search for yourself to be a Christian (Christ-like).\u00a0
Search yourself continually, and gain understanding to know God.
Live life not to become a victim of the wicked world or live life as a wicked one but to be led in the way of everlasting.
Search yourself, find God, to live as a Christ-like (Christian).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
